Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Portfolio manager with a clever plan
Active returns when the market's grand
But watching closely for the danger zone
When profits shrink and risks have grown

[Chorus]
Contingent immunization, flexible adaptation
Active when you're winning, defensive when you're spinning
Floor becomes the trigger, safety net grows bigger
Switch your allocation when returns hit frustration

[Verse 2]
Start with surplus over what you need
Immunized portfolio plants the seed
That surplus lets you take some chances
While downside protection still advances

[Chorus]
Contingent immunization, flexible adaptation
Active when you're winning, defensive when you're spinning
Floor becomes the trigger, safety net grows bigger
Switch your allocation when returns hit frustration

[Bridge]
When asset values tumble down
And surplus starts to hit the ground
Abandon risky strategies now
Lock in that floor somehow

[Verse 3]
Duration matching saves the day
Bond ladders keep the wolves at bay
No more gambling with the client's gold
Conservative approach takes hold

[Chorus]
Contingent immunization, flexible adaptation
Active when you're winning, defensive when you're spinning
Floor becomes the trigger, safety net grows bigger
Switch your allocation when returns hit frustration

[Outro]
Best of both worlds in your hands
Upside potential with backup plans
When markets smile you chase the gain
When storms arrive you break the chain
